Administration of the asthma medication montelukast more than 30 minutes before infusion of daratumumab can drastically reduce infusion-related reactions in patients with multiple myeloma.
In a subgroup analysis of the POLLUX trial, daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone was associated with superior progression-free survival and response rates versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone alone among patients who were previously treated with bortezomib or who were bortezomib-refractory or lenalidomide-naïve.
Unmet treatment needs remain in multiple myeloma, particularly among patients with relapsed/refractory disease who have received multiple lines of therapy. This study evaluates a potential salvage approach of daratumumab-based retreatment in patients refractory to daratumumab and/or pomalidomide.
